🏞️ Yuelu Mountain No-Hiking Itinerary | South Gate In, East Gate Out

#discoverchina Changsha’s weather is amazing lately ☀️—but many travelers aren’t sure where to start when exploring Yuelu Mountain. So here’s a tourist-friendly route and tips for an easy, smooth visit: ✅ Recommended Route: Enter from South Gate → Exit via East Gate 🚶♀️ Suggested path: University Town food street → Hunan University → Orange Isle Square → Yuelu Academy → Aiwan Pavilion → take the sightseeing bus up the mountain → enjoy the mountaintop scenic corridor → transfer to the slide for your descent (or continue on the bus) → exit at East Gate ❌ Other Routes (Not Recommended): East Gate in → South Gate out: East Gate is super crowded! 😵💫 South Gate in → South Gate out: Good for those not planning to climb at all East Gate in → East Gate out: Only makes sense if you only want to try the slide 🙏 Optional Detour: If you're okay with a little bit of climbing, check out Lushan Temple after Yuelu Academy & Aiwan Pavilion. It’s much less commercialized than Kaifu Temple and often said to be “more spiritually responsive” 😉 🛋️ 3 No-Hiking Route Combos: Round-trip Sightseeing Bus – ¥30 (Perfect for those scared of heights or not into slides) Bus up + Slide down – ¥30 + ¥35 (Take bus up, transfer to slide halfway down—tell the driver to stop at the slide entrance!) One-way Bus + Slide down – ¥20 + ¥35 (Walk ~1.7km after sightseeing, then take the slide—good for those with some stamina) #travel #thingstodo
